SUMMARY:Allen Clark Memorial Hill Climb
DESCRIPTION:The Allen Clark Memorial Hill Climb — the annual grunt-fest that has fast become a rite of cycling passage in the Mad River Valley — is a grueling time trial that rises 1\,600 vertical feet in 6.2 miles\, from the intersection of Routes 100 and 17 to the top of Appalachian Gap. \nThe event is named in honor of long-time Mad River Valley resident\, Allen Clark. An avid cyclist who took up biking late in life\, he rode 2\,500-3\,000 annually in Vermont. Allen especially loved the challenge of the Appalachian Gap. This event is a tribute to Allen’s life and a fundraiser for Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports\, an organization that meant a great deal to him. \nThe cost to register is $50 for adults and $30 for kids. \nBikers are encouraged to pre-register in advance of the event by clicking here \nRace-day registration will take place from 8:30-9:30AM in front of Stark Mountain Bike Works. A $10 surcharge per entry will be added to all day-of registrations. Entry includes automatic participation in a raffle for lots of great shwag! \nFor more information\, call 802-793-0109 \nBest Times — Medals awarded to the top three men and women in age categories. Post-race shwagraffle. \nNew Records — A special prize of $100 cash will be awarded to any man or woman who can set a new course record. Current records: Phil Mason — 23:11.43\, Marti Shea — 26:47.30. \nCombined Events — Trophies will be awarded to the man and woman with the best combined times for the bike race and Saturday’s Stark Mountain Hill Climb footrace. \nDetails:\nDate – Sunday October 6\, 2024\nStart — 10 AM\, Stark Mountain Bike Works\, Route 100 & Route 17\, Waitsfield\, VT\nFinish — Top of Appalachian Gap \n\nLength: 6.2 miles\nVertical climb: 1\,600 feet\nRace format: Time trial\, 30-second intervals\n8 age categories\, from 15 and under to 70 and over.\nRegistration fees: Adults – $50\, Kids – $30\, $10 surcharge per entry for race day registration.\n\nThe Course\nThe time trial course begins at Stark Mountain Bike Works at the corner of Routes 17 and 100 and rises 1600 vertical feet over 6.2 miles to finish at the intersection of the Long Trail at the summit of the Appalachian Gap. \n \nThe road\, originally named the McCullough Turnpike when built in the 1950s\, is currently the highest paved road in Vermont kept open year-round\, topping out at 2\,356 feet. The road wasn’t constructed using the high-tech survey methods available today; instead\, the bed was laid out following the natural contours of the terrain. With an average pitch of roughly 10 percent over the last 2½ miles\, the climb is steeper (if shorter) than most climbs in the Tour de France. But steepness alone isn’t everything. The numerous changes in pitch and direction are really what make the App Gap climb a challenging and exhilarating ride\, both physically and mentally. \nWho Can Participate?\nCyclists and Unicyclists of all ages and abilities with any type of bicycle are invited to tackle the challenge of racing to the top of the Appalachian Gap. In keeping with the spirit of its namesake\, the late Allen Clark\, the Hill Climb is a celebration of cycling as a sport for people of all ages and physical abilities\, with any type of bicycle. Clark was a Mad River Valley cycling enthusiast and a regular bike-shop customer who didn’t take up the sport until he was in his sixties. He went on to log between 2\,000 and 3\,500 miles a year\, well into his 70s\, riding in all weather and in every month of the year. His favorite bike was a Bianchi hybrid\, fully rigged with racks and a huge storage trunk. The bike weighed more than 40 pounds — more than twice the weight of a typical racing bike. \nThe Ap Gap climb was one of Clark’s favorite rides\, as it is for almost every cyclist in the Mad River Valley. The climb can be difficult and even downright painful\, but getting to the top is always extraordinarily rewarding. Regardless of what level rider you might be\, riding the Gap is the ultimate fitness reality check. That’s why local riders come back to the Gap again and again\, in a kind of love/hate relationship. \nCategories\nPrizes will be awarded for both men and women\, 15 years and over. Junior riders\, under age 15\, will finish at Mad River Glen. \n\nUnder 15\n15-19\n20+\n40+\n50+\n60+\n70+\nAdaptive\nTandem\nUnicyclists\n\nVolunteers\nThe Allen Clark Hill Climb relies on volunteers to make this event happen.

SUMMARY:Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap
DESCRIPTION:Part murder mystery and part psychological thriller\, this play is brimming with intrigue\, sophisticated humor and surprising twists. After a local woman is murdered\, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. A police detective (Ray Merrill\, Montpelier) arriving on skis\, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house (Sarah McDougal\, Warren\, and Wes Olds\, Graniteville); a spinster with a curious background (Karin Stevenson\, Essex); an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef (Paul Cavaliere\, Montpelier); a retired Army major (Brent Adams\, Warren); a strange man who claims his car has overturned in a drift (Aric Brown\, Middlesex); and a former judge who makes life miserable for everyone (Marci Robinson\, Warren). It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them\, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. When a second murder takes place\, tensions and fears escalate. \nThe play is directed by Ruth Ann Pattee (Fayston) with assistance from Stage Manager Joanne Puente (Worchester). Set design is also by Pattee\, with Doug Bergstein (Waitsfield) as set build crew chief. The lighting and sound design is by Jasper Mayone (Waitsfield) with assistance from Irene Halibozek (Williston).
